School Inspector Defends Pupils;
Principal Defends Old Methods
A secondary school inspector
threw a verbal punch at provinc
ial newspapers, Friday, for re
porting graduates were poor In
grammar.
Inspector 0. W. Booth told
teachers, at a conference in the
local high school, some of the
graduates can “write so well
they would put reporters to
shame.”
He criticized a Toronto paper
for a headline “Grade 13 Stu
dents Poor In Grammar." “It’s a
lie, it’s dishonest, it’s false,” he
said.
Mr. Booth told the teachers he
had worked on the particular survey on which tile newspaper
reported. “Only 15 percent were
not proficient,” he said. There

were many Grade 13 pupils
whose grammar excelled that of
teachers.
The inspector spoke to over
200 instructors from 16 high
schools throughout the district.
His speech was one of the high
lights of the day-long convention.
He challenged teachers to pre
pare pupils for living with well-
balanced and well-developed
sonalities.
“It ou must assist in the
velopment of good citizens
can think for themselves”,
dents should be taught to be
critical of everything they read
and to think logically. “There is
a lot of trash and half-truth to
throw away”, he said. “Educa
tion ought to help the pupils
throw away what is not goodv
Education ought to help the
pupil distinguish what is first
rate from what is not.”
Mr. Booth spoke in the morn
ing, shortly after the conference
began. At the noon luncheon,
the guest speaker was A.
O’Neil, principal emeritus
Oshawa Collegiate.
Older Methods Defended
A defence of the old _____
thought in education was the
theme of Mr. O’Neil’s
and he directed those
in the form of a castigation of
all those who claim that the
schools of the earlier part of the
century were places of dreariness
where incompetent teachers
taught useless subjects to stu
dents who hated both the teacher
and the subjects only to wind
up as the leaders in our national
industry, education, and
merce today.

Educators today, he claimed,

point there were audible mur
